event of faults or anomalies in the vehicle data,
only these data are saved. As a rule, faults are
shown by the warning lamps in the instrument
cluster.
Data saved in the control units can only be read
and analysed with special equipment.
A qualified workshop is only able to recognise
and deal with faults by using the relevant saved
data. Among other things, the saved data may
contain the following information:
- Data relating to the engine and the gearbox
-Speed
- Dire ction of travel
- Braking force
- Seat belt warning system data
The control
units
installed will not under any cir
cumstances record conversations in the vehicle.
On vehicles with an automatic SOS dial system
via a mobile phone or another connected device,
the current location of the vehicle can be trans
mitted. In accidents where the control units reg
ister that airbags have been triggered, a signal
can automatically be sent by the system. This de
pends on the service provider. The signal can only
be sent in areas with sufficient mobile phone cov
erage.
Event data recorder
Your vehicle is not equipped with an event data
recorder.
In an event data recorder, information about the
vehicle is temporarily saved. In the event of an
accident, you can therefore obtain detailed infor
mation about the course of events. On vehicles
with an airbag system, accident-related data such
as impact speed, seat belt status, seat positions
and trigger times can be saved. The exact infor
mation saved depends on the manufacturer.
The installation of an event data recorder is sub
ject to the agreement of the vehicle's owner. This
process is governed by legislation in some coun
tries.
108 Reprogram
ming control units
All data for controlling components are saved in
the control units. Some convenience features,
such as one-touch signalling, single door unlock
ing and display messages can be reprogrammed
using special workshop equipment. If any con
venience features are reprogrammed, the infor
mation in this Owner's Manual will no longer be
accurate for the features that have been
changed. We recommend having the reprogram
ming confirmed by an Audi workshop in the
"Workshop remarks" section of your Service
Schedule.
Your Audi dealer will be able to provide you with
information about possible reprogramming op
tions.
Event memory
There is a diagnostic connection for reading out
the event memory located in the footwell on the
driver's side of the vehicle. Information regarding
the operation and status of the vehicle's elec
tronic control units is stored in the event memo
ry. The event memory should only be read out
and erased by a qualified workshop.
A WARNING
The diagnostic connection must not be used
for other purposes. Incorrect use can cause
malfunctions -risk of accident!

Choosing the correct engine oil grade
The service interval display in the instrument
cluster of your vehicle will inform you when it is
time for an oil change. We recommend having
the oil changed by a qualified workshop.
If you have to top up the oil between oil changes,
use the grades of oil specified in the table in ac
cordance with VW standards. You will need to
know whether
- the vehicle is being serviced based on the flexi
ble or fixed oil change service (see Last service
record in Service Schedule).
- the vehicle has a petrol or diesel engine (see
sticker on inside of fuel tank flap).
- a diesel particulate filter is fitted on the vehicle
(see Delivery Inspection section of Service
Schedule).

Checking brake fluid level
The brake fluid Level must be between the MIN
and MAX marks on the reservoir ¢ page 222,
Fig. 211.
If the Level goes down noticeably in a short time,
or drops below the MIN mark, there may be a
Leak in the brake system. Obtain professional as
sistance. The brake fluid Level is also monitored
via a warning Lamp on the infotainment display
¢page 11.
In right-hand drive vehicles the brake fluid reser
voir is on the other side of the engine compart
ment.
Changing brake fluid
Your vehicle's Service Schedule will tell you the
regular intervals at which the brake fluid is due
for renewal. We recommend that you have the
brake fluid changed by a qualified workshop dur
ing a service.
A WARNING
- Brake fluid is poisonous; it must be stored in
the sealed original container in a safe place
out of the reach of children.
- Heavy use of the brakes may cause a vapour
Lock if the brake fluid is left in the system
for too Long. This would seriously affect the
efficiency of the brakes and the safety of the
car -risk of accident!
226 CD
CAUTION
Brake fluid must not be allowed to come into
contact with the vehicle's body, otherwise it
will attack the paintwork.
Battery General notes
ALL work on batteries requires specialist knowl
edge.
The battery is virtually maintenance-free. It is
checked as part of the Inspection Service.
When an airbag is triggered, the battery will, un
der certain circumstances, be disconnected from
the on-board power supply for safety reasons
¢ .&.. in General notes on airbag system on
page 209.
Disconnecting the battery
The battery should always be Left connected. If
the battery is disconnected, some of the vehicle's
functions will become inoperative (e.g. electric
windows). These functions will require resetting
after the battery is reconnected. For this reason,
the battery should only be disconnected from the
vehicle's electrical system when absolutely nec
essary.
If the vehi cle is not used for long periods
If you do not drive your vehicle for a period of
several days or weeks, the power management
will gradually shut off the on-board systems one
by one, or reduce the amount of current they are
using. This Limits the amount of power consumed
and helps to ensure reliable starting even after a
Long period ¢ page 106. Certain convenience fea
tures, such as interior Lighting or electric seat ad
justment, may not be available. These functions
will be restored when you switch on the ignition
and start the engine. Even though some systems
are deactivated automatically, certain electrical
equipment continues to draw current even when
the ignition is off. If the vehicle is Left standing
for several months, this can result in total bat-
tery discharge. If the battery is allowed to dis
charge completely, an internal chemical reaction

- Inspection or oil change reminder: After acer
tain mileage, a service reminder will appear on
the infotainment display each time the ignition
is switched on/off¢ Fig. 218. The distance or
time remaining will be shown briefly.
- Inspection or oil change due: When your vehi
cle is due for an inspection, oil change or both,
the corresponding reminder Inspection due!,
Oil change due! or Oil change and inspection
due! will appear briefly after you switch the ig
nition on/off.
Checking the service intervals
You can look up the distance and time remaining
until the next oil change and next service inspec
tion. Select the following on the infotainment
system: I MENU I button > Car > left control button
> Se rvicing & checks > Service intervals. You can
not check the service interval for the first 500 km
or so after resetting the display or when your ve
hicle is new.
CD CAUTION
- Keeping to the correct service intervals is
most important for the service life and re
sidual value of the vehicle (and especially
for the life of the engine). Services must al
ways be carried out promptly, even if the
mileage is low.
- The time until the next oil change is not
counted down if the battery is disconnec
ted. If your vehicle is out of service for an
extended period, please refer to the Service
Schedule for details of the next service
date.
